Does anyone NOT use an anti-virus program?

Same here, since i got my new rig ive decided to have as little installed (and as little running) as possible

I know what and what not to do on the net so im safe without one

I'm pretty much thinking this. It leaves YOU as the virus scanner... Any dubious files you could use just an .exe type scanner not an active scanner.

Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte from security now don't use AV, they say they know what they are doing, I'll go along with that.

Think this sums it up to be honest. I'm not saying AV is useless, but I think its very much dependant on the users knowlege of the system.

P.S. - 'Security Now' is deffo worth a listen, Steve and Leo explain the items in an easy to follow context.
